What other gameplay elements do you consider to be important and unique in UFO: Afterlight?

As we mentioned before, we plan to extend largely human resources management with a hint of RPG - the player should know all the characters by name and they should become "real friends". The base management will be slightly simplified comparing to previous sequels, there will be only one main base and the player will build only external facilities (mining, terraforming etc.) on the planet. On the globe, it will be possible to watch the movement of vehicles, which the combat or construction teams use to get into the missions.

Q: What variety of units will be available, and will they all be human? How many can the player command at once? In what ways can they improve over time?

A: The basic units are humans and all players start with them. In the course of the game, the player may also employ units from alien races, under the condition that they have positive diplomatic relations with that race. Diplomatic relations are not stable, and may change with the player's activities or simply on their own. The other races may also supply the player with new weapons and equipment.

The player decides which skills of the character are to improve and what new abilities each is going to learn. The size of the squad will be seven at most, but the player may choose from more characters, each of them suitable to different kinds of missions. The tactical combat aspect will be freshened up through the opportunity to control the mind of enemies.
